A knife-wielding man escaped with a small quantity of cash in a hold-up from a shop in Ganu Street, Birkirkara this evening.
The man demanded cash from a 22-year-old woman who was in the shop at the time.
The theft was the second of its kind in Birkirkara in four days.
On Thursday, a man wielding a knife escaped with cash after a similar hold-up in nearby Domenico Cachia Street.
